Oprah Says Rebooting Her Talk Show Would Be Something She’d Love to Make Happen

Oprah Winfrey may prove that life can go full circle at times, because she hinted at rebooting “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” the daily talk show that made her a household name.

The syndicated show ran from 1986 to 2011 and taped in Chicago. Some of the episodes had big-name celebrities as guests, others had everyday people who told compelling stories and sometimes Winfrey made herself the subject matter — like in a 1988 episode when she revealed a massive weight loss.

Winfrey also had special giveaway episodes where she’d give the studio audience extravagant gifts, which is where her famous “You get a car, you get a car” line came from.

The last episode of the talk show was a major TV event that was held at Chicago’s United Center. All kinds of celebrities came by to wish the legendary host well, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Jamie Foxx, Patti LaBelle, Maya Angelou, Michael Jordan, Usher, Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin and Beyoncé, who performed “Run the World” (Girls).”

Winfrey was in Toronto earlier this week promoting her new book “The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life’s Direction and Purpose” when the subject of her talk show came up.

And according to the 65-year-old, bringing it back would be a great idea but just on a different schedule than before. Winfrey also said she gets that talk show itch whenever a big news story unfolds.

“I would love to make that happen, let me tell you,” she told “ET Canada.” “But maybe not every day. For 25 years, it was perfect. The only time I missed it was during the election or when something really big happens in the news. I think, ‘Oh, gee, I wish I had a show.'”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
